Surely if your job is on the line why didn't you make sure you have a backup???

Google will give you answers to a data recover company.

No you'll need to google for a professional company to recover this data (if its possible as it may have over written the the deleted data at lower level)

What makes you say that? They are there via a DB value but not enabled by default.

Post by: Snoopyski on January 06, 2007, 10:57:57 PM: OK,

But Why not leave the option in Server-Manager ?

Some new users don't have any experience with Linux command line !

Thanks,

SME 7 was developed from SME 6.01, not from 6.5. So it would have been a matter of someone adding the option to the Server Manager. Other changes were done instead.

You should stop using the system immediately and engage the services of a professional who does this sort of restore. They may be able to recover the files if they have just been deleted, but if the system is busy the blocks will be reclaimed and lost forever.

Post by: imcintyre on March 09, 2007, 07:15:39 PM: Regarding turning on the recycle bin, I looked in the manual and in the wiki but could not find much on this topic.

I can see how I would turn on the recycle bin for a particular ibay from this post. How do I turn on the recycle bin for all ibays including user home or private i-bay that is created when a new user is created. Will this command string also work going forward for new ibays I may create.

Thanks in advance for your help.
